Chapter 128 Old Smoking Gun

After meeting Selinda Swan, Wei Xia would not be as rustic as Liu Laolao entering the city at the manor.

In the subsequent exchange, Wei Xia learned that Swan was a Canadian. This country bordering the United States had a degree of exchange between the people far beyond imagination. In the eyes of many people, Canada is part of the United States.

Therefore, Swan has been developing in the United States since childhood, and Wei Xia was only 159 cm tall, she appeared in film and television dramas.

The party still belongs to Little Buss.

He delivered a speech at the happiest time of the party. The content he said was nothing more than that everyone came from friends, and there was no need to be restrained and not drunk. Wei Xia didn't know how many couples were greedy for men and women who went to places where no one was together after alcohol was entered, but the party did open all corners of the manor.

Wei Xia and Swan just drank a little wine and were not drunk.

Wei Xia adopted a conservative offensive. They did not come together like what often appears in American movies. No, Wei Xia could never do that - he is still very innocent. He believes that feelings are a gradual process. Today is the first side of him and Swan. Getting to know each other is the most important thing.

In general, although Wei Xia spent most of her bored day, the party that night made that day less boring.

On July 4, Wei Xia officially signed a 22-rookie contract with the Lakers.

Bynum, Turiav and Weaver signed a contract like him. One accident was that Turiav encountered an unexpected infection shortly after signing the contract. The doctor believed that he was not suitable for intense sports in the short term, so the Lakers ruled through the league that the contract with Turiav would not work. However, the Lakers will be fully responsible for Turiav's treatment and all medical expenses are included. As long as Turiav recovers from health, they will still sign a contract with him.

From July to mid-September, Wei Xia has two and a half months.

He wants to play in the summer league, but the Lakers have no relevant plans. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is not to play games, but to find a place to live.

He is still living in a hotel with the Bass family. Although he doesn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation every day, it's unreasonable to take advantage of a millionaire.

The generous little Buss came to help him again.

He plans to find a luxury house worth $13.5 million for Wei Xia, with an area of ​​about 1,600 square feet, with 10 bedrooms, a theater, a game room, a billiards room, and two four-car parking garages. The luxurious house also includes an artificial lake, which is full of artificial rockery, caves, and water entertainment tools such as water slides. There are a variety of fish in the lake, plus 3 acres of gardens with salt water lakes and waterfalls.

What he portrays perfectly. What Wei Xia needs to let him know is that his four-year salary is not tax-deductible or less than $12 million. Moreover, the Lakers cannot advance his four-year salary in advance. Even if he advances, he cannot buy a house. He also needs to deduct taxes. Half of the money he gets is good.

Therefore, the mansion described by Little Buss is obviously not something he can afford.

They bargained on the phone.

Little Bus said that he had an idle house two kilometers away from Toyota in the middle of the year, with a built-in swimming pool and gymnasium. The garage and furniture were extremely comprehensive. Although it was not as good as the luxury house he introduced before, it was definitely no problem to use it for people to live in. Since no one has lived in it for two or three years, the furniture may be a bit old. If Wei Xia didn't mind, he would be willing to transfer it to him at half the market value.

"How can you be so embarrassed..." Wei Xia wanted to say something and push it.

But Bass has the style of a domineering president: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. You are my person. I can't let you not even find a place to live. Just settle it. In a few days, I'll give you the transfer contract!"

In short, Wei Xia and Buss only met three times. Buss values ​​him like an old friend he has known for many years.

Maybe he was right, he and his scouting department followed him for two years?

From all aspects, Bass Little is not the kind of person Wei Xia admires, but no matter whether he is a good person or a bad person, as long as he treats you well, some of his bad habits will be filtered, and even his corruption of lifestyle seems to be so toned.

On July 10, Wei Xia and Bass signed the transfer procedures and officially moved into their new home.

As Little Bus said, it has a built-in swimming pool, a small comprehensive gymnasium, game room, home theater, and two parking lots. For Wei Xia, this is already a pretty good house. As for the old furniture mentioned by Little Bus... if his concept of old is that if no one has used it for several years, it is indeed old.

Wei Xia felt lonely on the first day he moved in. He didn't want to live alone, so he contacted his brother and sister and asked them to move in with him.

After all, it was a family, and Wei Chun and Wei Qiu were not polite with Wei Xia. After moving here, they were so excited about the environment of their new home that they could not describe it in words.

The eldest sister even wanted her parents in Philadelphia to move over, but the two old men were doing well in Philadelphia and had no plans to move over.

Life is gradually stabilizing, and in addition to special training, Wei Xia is dealing with some necessary commercial activities.

As the Lakers' highest draft pick in 22 years, Wei Xia has received several commercial contracts.

He first became the spokesperson for running shoes, and then shot advertisements related to toothpaste. Finally, because of his poor line skills, he recited advertising lines like a eulogy, and used his strength to cut off his only commercial value at present.

At least, he won $1 million in off-market revenue.

In addition to these things, he devoted more time to training.

The training in reality is boring. He practices three-pointers and horizontal movements day after day, and keeps his weight at 97 kg.

Training in the old days was much more interesting.

Weisha proposed to Red Auerbach to find a shooting expert to train Haflicecke's shooting, which changed the course of history.

In the summer training camp in 1962, the Celtics players had just finished their temporary workers returning to the team to register.

This was the norm in the NBA before 1964.

The club exploits and squeezes players, and the salaries are not high. Apart from worldly figures such as Chamberlain and Russell, others have to work part-time jobs in short-term jobs in addition to receiving team salaries, otherwise they really can't support their families.

Weisha's consciousness controlled Haflicek's body as usual.

Auerbach specifically instructed that a recognized shooting master came to Wei Xia.

"Rookie, from today on, you're my own." His voice was hoarse, and he spoke very hard. The oncoming smell of tobacco shocked Wei Xia.

This phenomenon usually only happens to those who have a habit of smoking. Are the white players standing in front of him smoking?

NBA player, smoke?

It's like this is something more difficult to understand than the drug-addicted NBA in the 1970s.

Smoking? It's incredible.

"Oh...what should I call you?" Wei Xia was very conscious of a rookie.

The other party smiled: "Very good, the team finally has a sensible little guy, but you really don't know me? Can white people who don't know me these days still make it to the NBA?"

Wei Xia immediately searched for information about this person in his mind.

Sure enough, clues were found.

Tom Heinsohn PF, a regular starter for the Celtics, was nicknamed "Tommy Gun" for his shooting technique that was arrogant in the 1950s and 1960s.

"I do know you, but it's more formal to introduce each other." After Wei Xia said that, he introduced himself like an idiot. "My name is John Haflicek, you can call me Hondo or John."

"Okay, call me Tommy!" The next two class members of the Hall of Fame don't want to make any unnecessary self-introduction.1.

"I really don't understand you young people. Is shooting necessary for you? If I can run like you, I won't shoot!"

Heinthorne slapped and walked to the free throw line with a retro Spalding basketball, "I'm optimistic."

Bang!

"I learned it, so will."

Wei Xia repeated the shot that Heinthorne was confident but missed.

"Who the fuck told you to learn from me?" Another big smell of tobacco was scented.

"Tomy, are you smoking?" Wei Xia has never played games with NBA players who like to smoke. The smell on the other side made him want to escape from here.

"Don't you understand? This is the smell that a man should have. A woman should apply rouge on her body, and a man should have a smell of gunpowder. Unfortunately, we live in a peaceful era. I can only use this method to prove that I am the most masculine one in the entire league. Should I get one?"

Auerbach clearly asked him to teach Haflicecke to shoot. If he found out that he taught Haflicecke to shoot iron and had a smoking skill, would his legs be interrupted?

Wei Xia stepped back in horror and shook her head: "Will your physical strength be affected?"

"What do you know?" People who know that they have to do something wrong always have their own fallacies. "If I hadn't had my physical strength, how could Frank 1 have the chance to play? If I didn't smoke, I would do it like Bill every game for 45 minutes, and Frank would have to light a cigar off the court. That's my exclusive job!"

Wei Xia wanted something more meaningful to make shoes. He said to Lao Yangu: "Can we continue to practice shooting?"

"Practice, continue." Heinthorne tried another goal, but he still didn't make it.

Moreover, his shooting moves... Why does Wei Xia look so familiar?

1 Heinthorne was twice inducted into the Hall of Fame as a player and coach, and John Wooden, Lanny Wilkens, and someone I clearly remember but can't remember now. In short, there were four people.

2Frank Ramsey (Frank     PG/SG), the sixth man’s ancestor.
